<strong>Chianti! Chianti is Sacred Nectar of the Gods. Being so, Chianti should thus be treated accordingly to its exalted status, being deserved of society’s highest accolades that is Chianti’s due. Since its creation by the Baron Ricasoli in the 1870’s, Chianti has been held in the highest esteem and prestige. In its existence it has had a bit of a bumpy road in terms of quality and prestige for a portion of its history. This bumpy road or shall we say low-point for Chianti took place around the early 1960’s and into the late 1970’s, a period of about twenty-years. The Chianti of Chianti Classico in these years was pretty much; thinned-out, characterless, commercial wine of quantity rather than quality. It was all about producing as much wine per acre, that was possible, with pretty much a disregard for quality, large quantities of insipid, weak nondescript wines instead of wines with proper concentration, substance, and character. At the time (1960-1981), this was pretty much the case for most wines of Italy, not just Tuscany and the region of Chianti Classico. This being said, there was always a small percentage of top quality producers that never strayed to the negative side. These producers (wine estates) always produced good top-level wine outside of the majority of those producing a inferior product (Chianti). It’s just that at the time, the majority of the Italian wine industry was going for the money. It was more profitable to produce higher quantities of inferior wine, than to produce smaller amounts of higher quality Chianti, and so this is the way thing went for some time. Most likely it was not just that those making Chianti in this low-period may have wanted to make better quality Chianti, but the market which included the United States as the primary customer, along with Italians in Italy didn’t expect it. Once some estates started turning out lower quality Chianti, there was a snowball affect and so it seems, most Americans buying Chianti in the 50s, 60, and 1970s just expected Chianti at a cheaper price, of acceptable quality, and in the ubiquitous straw-wrapped wine-flask that was Chianti at the time was famous for, cheap and in its expected Straw Bottle. This is what the larger Chianti buying public, and even if there was higher quality Chianti, and there was some, most consumers just wanted the cheap stuff.</strong>
<strong>One of the most influential figures in the history of Chianti is the Italian statesman, Bettino Ricasoli who created the Chianti recipe that would later be canonized in DOC regulations. The Ricasoli family traces their lineage in the Chianti region to Lombard barons who ruled during the 11th century. The family estate in </strong><strong>Brolio is located in what is now known as the heart of the Chianti Classico region in the province of Siena. Orphaned at a young age, his family estate was crippled with debt and in disarray shortly after Ricasoli got married. Restoring the estate and its vineyard became his primary focus. Ricasoli traveled throughout France and Germany, studying the latest winemaking methods and brought back with him vine cuttings of new grape varieties. He began to experiment in his vineyard and cellar on which grapes produced the best wines at his estate. His work eventually settled on a blend of three Tuscan grapes-Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Malvasia.</strong>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<strong> I myself am on, and have been on a personal quest to have the laws governing how Chianti can be made. If I could make Chianti, what would I do? How would I make it? What style, thick and concentrated, thin and light, or somewhere in-between? Would I allow non-traditional secondary grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot? “Certainly not! That would be most sacrilegious.” Number one, in molding what many consider to be a real and true classic Chianti, “you never ever allow, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah or any grapes that are not native or traditional to the Chianti Classico zone into the mix (the blend of Chianti). As anyone who know a little about Chianti, they know that the primary grape of this storied wine is Sangiovese and from the beginning Chianti has always been a wine made with a blend of 3 or 4 native grape varietals with the primary grape being Sangiovese with small amounts of native grapes making up the remainder of an estates Chianti Classico. The secondary grapes to the primary grape of Sangiovese (75-100%) should only be either; Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Trebbiano, or Malvasia Bianco, or Malvasi Nero, with any of these grapes being added singularly or in any combination the vintner chooses. The percentage of white grapes allowed since 1984 is a maximum of 6% as opposed to the once ridiculous about of 30% in the sixties and seventies. The allowance of up to 30% white grapes was the major factor in bringing about the bad reputation that Chianti garnered during those dismal years when the quantity of wine made (bulk) was favored over quality in smaller numbers of production in much of Italy. Luckily there were producers like the Antinori family who started making great wines in the Chianti Classico zone which could not be labeled under the Chianti D.O.C. but as Vin di Tavola (the lowest designation, though these wines were of Superior quality), in the wines; “Solaia” which was made primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with about 20% Sangiovese and “Tignanello” which was made of 100% Sangiovese in its first vintage in 1971. After the first vintage of Tignanello a percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (15-20%) was added a couple years later and Tignanello became and was designated a Vino di Tavola which most people know as Super Tuscan. So that very first vintage of the now famous Super Tuscan wine called Tignanello, was originally classified as a Chianti Classico. The Marchese Piero Antinori began making Tignanello in the Chianti Classico region along with “Sassicia” from his vineyard on the Tuscan coast of Bolgerhi. These wines were instrumental in elevating the wines of Tuscany, in that by making these high quality wines and inspiring other producers to do the same. So, the act of making exceptional quality wines in and around the Chianti region, which were not Chianti’s but Super Tuscans, was the factor that sparked the beginning of better and better Chianti’s over time.</strong><div><strong><br /></strong></div><div>
<strong> The last two dates of 1984 and 1996 in which we see the governing bodies changing the laws governing the production of Chianti. These laws forced producers to make better Chianti. These laws which allowed producers to completely eliminate white varietals from Chianti and not allowing more than 6% white grapes was the main factor to improving quality in the wine, while at the same time allowing up to 15% of other varieties such as Merlot or Cabernet and the allowance of making a Chianti from 100% Sangiovese, thus allowing a Chianti that is not a blended wine, if a producer so chose to make Chianti in this fashion. These two new amendments gave way to radically changing what a Chianti was, now, what many believe to be more of a Super Tuscan than a true Chianti. Chianti’s made of solely 100% Sangiovese or those made with 10 to 15 percent Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon would lose much of the general character that a “True Chianti” should have in order for it to really <em>be</em> Chianti and not just to say it is Chianti when it really <em>is not</em>. It’s really a Super Tuscan, which is fine, just to label it, or say that it is Chianti, when it really is not. I must admit that at the time the laws first allowed the addition of these International varieties, I was quite excited and thought that this was a great thing for Chianti. It wasn’t. I was wrong. I quickly changed my mind about what true Chianti really is, and not a wine that has substantial parts Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon instead of what they should have, which are the tradition Chianti sub-varietals of Canniolo, Colorino, Malvasia, or Trebbiano. As I tasted these new wines and at the same time started learning a great deal more about Italian wine, I soon discovered that the Chianti’s that had either Merlot or Cabernet tasted completely different. “They didn’t taste like Chianti!” They didn’t have the wonderful rustic characters of <em>true</em> Chianti. They taste more like wines from California, instead of having the characteristics from the “Terroir” of where they came from.</strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<strong>“Chianti Classico”, “Chianti Rufina”, “Colli Sienesi”, or “Colli Fiorentina”. Fortunately most producers making Chianti do not put Merlot or Cabernet in the bottles they label Chianti, most use Canaiolo or Colorino as the secondary grape. Wine estates that grow Merlot, Cabernet, or Syrah, generally use these varieties to make “Super Tuscan” wines which are much more profitable as they can get much higher prices on the wholesale and retail markets for these wines. To myself and other Italian Wine Geeks, if wine has Merlot or Cabernet in it, it’s a “Super Tuscan” not a Chianti and should be labeled as such as these grape varietals used, even in smaller percentages of only 5 to 10 percent are still powerful enough as to substantially change the character of what is supposed to be “Chianti”. These wines become something else, they become “Super Tuscans” and should be labeled as such (as far as I’m concerned)and not as Chianti which as the laws stand now they can be called Chianti. I am on a personal crusade to have the laws changed once again, which would eliminate non-native varietals from the Chianti blend. </strong>
<strong> One of the new parameters of making Chianti is that it can be made solely of 100% Sangiovese. This is the other part of laws governing Chianti which should be changed. As in its long tradition, Chianti was always a blend of grapes with Sangiovese making up the greatest part of the mix. Chianti was and always should be a blended wine, it should not be allowed to be made solely of Sangiovese, then again it’s a Super Tuscan not Chianti if you have a truly traditionalist mind towards Chianti. Chianti, when it was originated in the 1870’s by the Baron Bettino Ricasoli was a wine made of a blend of native grapes of the region of Chianti. The original Chianti made by Ricasoli was a blended wine made mostly of Sangiovese as the primary grape with small portions of Trebbiano and Cannaiolo. Until the lastest laws of 1996 which laid down the parameters of how Chianti could be made as a blend and it can also be made of purely 100% Sangiovese. Chianti made of just 100% Sangiovese is not quite true Chianti as well. I love Sangiovese. It is my favorite grape varietal in the World, but as well, Chianti was always a blended wine with Sangiovese as the primary grape varietal. Chianti was a blended wine for well over 100 years. With the latest laws, Chianti can be a made purely of Sangiovese. Some wines that are made of 100% Sangiovese and are known as Super Tuscans are; “Prunaio”, “I Sodi San Niccolo”, “Cipresso”, Le Pergole Torta among many others. They are wonderful wines that fall into the Super-T category as any wine made in the Chiati Classico Zone should be. Chianti should always be a blend, even if it is only 1% or 2% of another native grape, which should be Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Trebbianno, or Malvasia Bianco, or Malvasia Nero. The white varietals should not exceed more than 2% of the blend. This is how the new laws governing the production of Chianti would be laid down if it was up to me and others who are traditionalist and want Chianti to always adhere to its original form. “Real Chianti!” The wines should have fairly low yields of grapes harvested, but not so low as to produce super-concentrated rich wines that are more like blockbuster California Cabs or Super Tuscan powerhouses. This is not what Chianti is about. Chianti should be a have a certain amount of concentration and at the same time maintain its wonderful rustic character with Cherry and Sour Cherry flavors dominating with a touch of spice and earthiness. Chianti should be an easy drinking medium to lower-scale-full-bodied wine. Chianti should always maintain the tradition of being a blended wine with Sangiovese making up the great the majority of its physical make-up. It should never be solely made from 100% Sangiovese but contain at least 2% of one, two, or three of the traditional native sub-varietal grapes of Chianti Classico and never Merlot, Cabernet, Syhrah or other International variety.</strong>
<strong> If I could set these laws as the new DOCG laws of Chianti Classico the laws would never have to be changed again. The laws, the way they are set today are a little too broad. One thing that is good in the way the laws stand now is that they do allow for a proper Chianti to be made, and most Chianti’s are made in this manner, but at the same time they allow for non-native varieties and the allowance of 100% Sangiovese. These last two regulations must be changed for all Chianti’s to be “True Chianti”. It is as simple as that! So, let us hope that one day in the near future, these laws will be laid down and every single bottle labeled Chianti is actually real, true Chianti that lives up to this great wines history and origins.</strong>
<strong> Chianti Classico. What is it? First off, the area came first, the wine Chianti Classico is name after the area it comes from, which is Chianti. The Chianti Classico is the most famous. It stretches from just a few miles south of Florence at its most northern tip and runs down almost 30 miles to Castelnuovo Beradenga at its most southern point. As Chianti grew in popularity and fame, a number of other regions where Chianti can be made developed. Some of these areas are Cooli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Arentini, and Rufina. None of these sub areas have ever gained anywhere near the fame as thee original Chianti Classico Zone. The Chianti Zone of Rufina, just outside Florence is the most prestigious zone apart from Chianti. These Chianti’s are of the highest quality. Three very well know producers in this area are Frescobaldi, Selvapiana, and Rufino and although the zone of Rufina is not as well known as the Chianti Classico zone, the zone of Rufina does have thee most famous Chianti of all, Rufino’s Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale (Gold Label).</strong>
<strong> So in closing, let us say that we hope the laws that govern the making of Chianti Classico will be changed some day. I think it is sure to happen. It would be best if it happens sooner than later, that in the making of Chianti, there shall be no Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syhrah or any other non-native or non-traditional grape varieties of Chianti Classico. Also the laws should be changed to eliminate 100% Sangiovese Chianti’s, Chianti should always be a blend.</strong>
<strong> The region of Chianti Classico is one of the World’s most beautiful wine regions, if not the most beautiful. It is enchanting, filled with castles, all forms of wine estates from small and simply to big and majestic. The beautiful rolling hills of Chianti are filled with Cypress trees that dot the crest of many a hill, along with rugged stone farm houses and the wondrous rows </strong>
<strong>Sangiovese vines lining the gently sloping hills.</strong>
<strong> Chianti is relatively untouched or spoiled by any type of ugly modern structures. The Chiantigiana road is still the ancient one built by the Romans and its pavement blends in perfectly with its untouched surroundings. Chianti is filled with lovely little towns like Castellina, Gaile, Greve, and Radda where you will find the famous Dante quoting butcher Dario Cechini. You can visit and stay in beautiful wine estates like Fattoria Valle, Castello Verazzano in Greve where the explorer Giovani Verazzano is from. You can stay at the beautiful estate of Vignamaggio where Gioconda lived and was painted my Michael Angelo. She is “Mona Lisa.”</strong>
<strong> Chianti, it’s not just a wine. “It’s a Place, a very beautiful place!”</strong></div><div><b><br /></b>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">
If I could make Chianti, what would I do? How would I make it? What style, thick and concentrated, thin and light, or somewhere in-between? Would I include non-traditional secondary grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot? “Certainly not! That would be most sacrilegious.” Well, for sure, I would make a true, authentic Chianti as Chianti is intended to be as set forth more than 130 years ago when Bettino Ricasolo created Chianti and set forth the formula of Chianti being a wine of the a blend of “Native Chianti Classico Grapes.” </span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">In this wine “Chianti” the blend was to include as a must a majority of the most famous and cherished of all Tuscan grapes, “Sangiovese.” With Chianti made of primarily Sangiovese as well as complementary native grapes in small percentages which included : Canaiolo, Cielegiolo, Colorino, Mammolo, Malvasia Nero, Malvasia Bianco, and or Trebbiano. Yes this is what true and <i>Real Chianti</i> should be, a wine based on the original and traditional recipe for Chianti, created by the Baron Ricasoli and made just as the creator stated for some 100 years. In the past 40 years two things happened that has gotten Chianti off track to what it was originally and should always be. The first thing, was that back in the 1960 and 1970 many in this most famous of all Italian Wine zones were making Chianti purely for profit without any regard for the traditions and quality of the wine. Many of the producers of Chianti grew high yields of inferior grapes simply to gain a higher gross amount of fruit and juice to make the wine. The governmental powers that be went along with these detrimental practices traded off for higher profits. The Chianti Consorzio allowed for large numbers of White Grape Varietals into the Chianti blend which while making the wine more profitable in sales, had the negative affect of making thinned out inferior wine, if any particular producer (maker of Chianti) chose to go the “High Profit low Quality” route. Some did, but Thank God not all. Many had pride and would not produce an inferior but Superior Chianti.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Finally in 1984, the laws governing what Chianti (The Formula) could and could not be were changed in order to set Higher Standards, making Chianti a Great Quality Wine and eliminating the facts that allowed producers to make Poor Quality wine if they so choose to. They could not anymore. The rules for making Chianti which allowed for the possibility to produce inferior Chianti were eliminated. White grape varietals such as Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianco in large quantities were no longer permitted into any wine labeled Chianti. Bravo! If the laws governing the production of Chianti had stayed like this, it would have been a great thing, and all Chianti would be of a high quality and of Long Standing Native Traditions and practices. Chianti was and would be a excellent quality wine that was and tasted as it should, like “Chianti.”</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Unfortunately the governing bodies of the Italian Government and Chianti Consorzio did something atrocious in the year 1996. Once again they changed the laws on making Chianti. They made a “Terrible Blunder,” in the name of what they said was to be a better Chianti, they allowed for the use of International grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syhrah. And they allowed for up to 20% of these other grape varietals with the primary grape of Sangiovese being a minimum of 80% to 100% at the producers' discretion and desire as to how each individual Estate wanted to make their Chianti. These laws made for a wide range in latitude of Chianti as a whole. Allowing for Chianti that if it had 10% or more of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, it would completely change the character of Chianti for those estates that chose to use amounts of even 5% or more of Merlot or Cabernet.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Thank God there was in this large range of latitude in the laws of what was aloud in Chianti and in what percentages, so what we end up is a wide range of different Chianti styles. Not Good! </span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">So the laws did allow for Chianti to be made in the traditional and proper manner of Sangiovese as the primary grape with small amounts of other native grapes, to end up with Chianti that taste like Chianti. Thank God for that.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Now this all being said the laws for making Chianti also included latitudes for making what can be labeled Chianti and wines that are labeled as Chianti, allowed for wines that do not taste like Chianti. They do not taste like Chianti as they have Merlot and or Cabernet Sauvignon in them. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and overpower the more delicate Sangiovese grape, resulting in a wine that does not taste like Chianti, but some kind of Super Tuscan wine or so-called baby Super Tuscan. If you put Merlot or Cabernet into what is supposed to be Chianti, that wine will not have the classic quintessential character that Chianti has, when made in the classic traditional style. A proper Chianti should be a light to medium body wine, possessing red fruit flavors, with hingts of earthiness and a tad of spice flavor as well.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
What a Chianti should not be, is a Big Full Bodied Fruit Bomb wine, nor anything approaching it, as some Reserve Chiantis are these days.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
As stated, a Chianti should be light to medium bodied. This does not mean that it should be thin or lack substance. It should definitely have flavor, but in a more subtle and restrained manor which makes the wine go well with the food you are eating and not overpower it as many wines tend to do these days.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
If I myself (and my friend Charles Sciccilone) could set these laws as the new DOCG laws of Chianti Classico the laws would never have to be changed again. The laws, the way they are set today are a little too broad. One thing that is good in the way the laws stand now is that they do allow for a proper Chianti to be made, and most Chianti’s are made in this manner, but at the same time they allow for non-native varieties and the allowance of 100% Sangiovese. These last two regulations must be changed for all Chianti’s to be “True Chianti” Non native grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon should never be allowed in Chiant (if it was up to me), and Chianti should always be a blend of mostly Sangiovese (85 to 95%), with 5% to 15% native secondary grapes such as : Colorino, Canaiolo, and or Malvasia Nero, etc. It is as simple as that! So, let us hope that one day in the near future, these laws will be laid down and every single bottle labeled Chianti is actually real, true Chianti that lives up to this great wines history and origins.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Chianti Classico. What is it? First off, the area came first, the wine Chianti Classico is name after the area it comes from, which is Chianti. The Chianti Classico is the most famous. It stretches from just a few miles south of Florence at its most northern tip and runs down almost 30 miles to Castelnuovo Berardenga at its most southern point. As Chianti grew in popularity and fame, a number of other areas in Tuscany where Chianti can be made, were developed. Some of these areas are Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Arentini, and Rufina. None of these sub areas have ever gained anywhere near the fame as the original Chianti Classico Zone. The Chianti Zone of Rufina, just outside Florence is the most prestigious zone outside of Chianti Classico, when it comes to Chianti. The three most well know producers in the Chianti Rufina zone are : Frescobaldi, Selvapiana, and Castello Trebbio. And although the zone of Rufina is not as well known as the Chianti Classico zone.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
So in closing, let us say that we hope the laws that govern the making of Chianti Classico will be changed some day. Changed for the better, preserving tradition and history of this great Italian Wine. "Please" !!! Oh, how I wish it would happen. It would be best if it happens sooner than later, that in the making of Chianti, there shall be no Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah or any other non-native or non-traditional grape varieties of Chianti Classico. Also the laws should be changed to eliminate 100% Sangiovese Chianti’s, Chianti should always be a blend, even if just 2% of another native grape such as Colorino, Canaiolo, or Cielegiolo were added. Chianti must always be a blende wine, dominated by mostly Sangiovese (at least 85%) with a smaller percentage of native grapes. The region of Chianti Classico is one of the World’s most beautiful. It is enchanting, filled with castles, all forms of wine estates from small and simply to big and majestic. The beautiful rolling hills of Chianti are filled with Cypress trees that dot the crest of many a hill, along with rugged stone farm houses and the wondrous rows Sangiovese vines lining the gently sloping hills.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Chianti is relatively untouched or spoiled by any type of ugly modern structures. The Chiantigiana road is still the ancient one built by the Romans and its pavement blends in perfectly with its untouched surroundings. Chianti is filled with lovely little towns like Castellina, Gaioli, Greve, and Radda where you will find the famous Dante quoting butcher Dario Cecchini. You can visit and stay in beautiful wine estates like Fattoria Valle, Castello Verazzano in Greve where the explorer Giovani Verazzano is from. You can stay at the beautiful estate of Vignamaggio where Gioconda lived and was painted my Michael Angelo. She is “Mona Lisa.”</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Chianti, it’s not just a wine. “It’s a Place, a very beautiful place!”</span><br />

It’s one of those rare places that firmly feels like you’ve stepped back in time without seeming gimmicky or overly touristy.<br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />The soul of Cantina do Mori is probably maintained thanks to the owner of the bar who is incredibly welcoming. The first time I went there we started chatting, his son was about to start university in Milan. We ended up talking about the rental market, safety in a big city like Milan, etc. I remember feeling like I had made a friend when I finally walked out the door over an hour later.<br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />Besides getting a glass a wine (or two or three), you can also get a selection of <em style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">cicchetti </em>which are small tapa size plates featuring traditional Venetian dishes. I’d strongly suggest you try the <i>B<span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">accalà M</span><span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">antecato</span></i> (whipped smoked cod), and the <em style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><em style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">moscardini</em> in mano</em> (moscardini are a sort of baby octopus). The mini <em style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">tramezzini</em> sandwiches called <i>F<span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">rancobolli</span></span></i> (stamps) should also be tried.</b></p><p style="background-color: white;

They serve wine of course, and local Venetian Wines as well as wines from the whole of Italy. Along with the wines, these wine bars serve assorted Cichetti, which is the Venetian dialect, meaning "Small Bites" ... The Cichetti are quite tasty and diverse, ranging from little Italian Sandwiches, Salumi, assorted Italian Cheese, Seafood, and crostini topped with a mermaid of toppings, sure to please.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The whole idea and concept of Venetian Bacari (wine bars) is to have a glass of wine (or two), and order a plate of assorted Cichetti that you pick.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Usually, you will decide on the wine first, then look over the Cichetti displayed on the counter (bar), and you tell the bartender, I'll take this, one of those, this and that one, and the bartender puts all that you have ordered on a plate in front of you. You sip your wine, nibble the cichetti, and chat with friends. And when you are finished, it's likely you make your way to another of your favorite Bacari (wine bars), go in and do the same, order a glass of wine, and your Cichetti.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>This is know as Giro d Ombra, The Wheel of Wine" as a glass of wine in a Venetian Wine Bar is called "Ombra" meaning Shade, as when these Venetian Bacari first started in the 1600s, they were frequented by merchants of the Rialto Market, who wanted to get out of the Sun and into some shady area, and so a glass of wine has been called Ombra ever since.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">.....

Marziano took up his father’s challenge and passion and, with the greatest care, patience and insight, he was able to produce wines of the highest quality, in which aromas and colors blend to give nectars reflecting the spirit of one of the Langhe area’s most highly regarded vintners. The same can be said about the non-autochthonous grape-based wines, in particular Cinerino, made from Viogner grapes, which is an extremely enjoyable, charming and aromatic wine. The great red wines, from the above-mentioned Dolcetto to Barbera's and Nebbiolo in all its versions, represent the perfect blend of quality, balance, charm and structure.</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well, not exactly, just the closest thing to it. There was actually a book called The Celebrity Cookbook, and it was so incredibly awful that it's criminal. How can anyone who was collaborating with Frank Sinatra, on a so-called cookbook produce utter garbage. You don't even know who wrote the book. There's no listing of an author, just that it's Barbara Sinatra and Friends. Was she the author. No doubt there was a book editor who put the thing together. Whoever the people are that had the incredible opportunity to work on a cookbook with Frank Sinatra and do such a God-Awful job of it, those people should be arrested and thrown in jail. The book is absolutely horrible. You have the great subject of Frank Sinatra, and the food he liked to eat, it there are no stories or elaborations of Sinatra Family Meals, dining out, nor any history or facts at all. Not even a single sentence. This is without a doubt one of the greatest crimes in cookbook, and publishing history of all time. It's so horrible, it's almost unbelievable, but it actually happened. Barbara Sinatra and the people who helped her, produced one of the worst pieces of crap ever to be published, in the form of The Frank Sinatra Celebrity Cookbook. What a crime.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Well, sad to say, t there is not much written on Franks Sinatra eating habits, dishes his father Marty made, and his mother Dolly. Though it is said that Marty Sinatra was the better cook, and cooked most of the family meals, which would have been Sicilian, and dishes from Marty (Saverio Martino) who was born in Lercara Friddi Sicily, before his family immigrated to New York in 1903 ...</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Those people, Barbara Sinatra and Friends had a chance to write something great, but failed miserably. They had a chance to talk to Frank, get all the stories of Frank Sinatra, the foods he loved, what his father and mother cooked, as well as dining adventures in New York, Chicago, </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Los Angeles, Italy, all around American and the World. The did not even write one paragraph, not even one sentence on anything. Again it's an absolute crime that the people behind this book were ever given the go ahead.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Anyway, since those people failed so terribly, the closest thing we can find, other than a few tidbits in magazine articles here and there, the best thing we could find, as far as a cookbook and Frank Sinatra, food and Italian and Sicilian Recipes, is a book by Daniel Bellino Zwicke, called Grandma Bellino's Italian Cookbook - Recipes From My Sicilian Grandmother. The authors maternal grandparents, his grandfather Philipo Bellino and his nonna Giuseppina Salemi Bellino of Lercara Friddi, Sicily, the same town that both Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Frank Sinatra's father </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Saverio Antonino Martino Sinatra was born. Martino (Marty) learned how to cook the Sicilian dishes of Lecara Friddi from his mother and a couple of his aunts. Marty was quite the cook, and cooked most of the Sinatra Family meals that young Frank and Dolly Sinatra ate. Dishes like : Eggplant Caponata, Ziti al Forno (with Meatballs), Timballo d' Agneletti, Zuppa di Lenticchie, and various pasta, soup, Chicken, Meat and Fish recipes. We found the recipes from these dishes, the same that Marty Sinatra cooked for his wife and son Francis Albert, in Grandma Bellino's Italian Cookbook.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>So there you go. If you want to know a bit about Frank Sinatra, and the Sicilian Food that he like to eat, get Grandma Bellino's Italian Cookbook, what we like to call The Sinatra Family Cookbook. It's the best you can do. So get a copy, book some recipes, put on some Sinatra albums, sit down at the table, and "Eat Like Frank."</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo7bIgnqVxfLnmmfai6E1-IhK1mjDqopxqu8_tGLkfw-3WoH72hNo75cEM4q_NL48QJXnbmwadVb4F1xouULtmBXFKS6S9W8AbTEOjQpCEp-zIdyUf3cOhR-Sx3-d4f0WYtQwM5xSbFmesQ5PcCfb6hvgVqVMRchL8VCGb7JzKuwCqbgOGEQjSnhN7pw/s367/Screenshot%202022-03-29%2012.22.31%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="367" data-original-width="261" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo7bIgnqVxfLnmmfai6E1-IhK1mjDqopxqu8_tGLkfw-3WoH72hNo75cEM4q_NL48QJXnbmwadVb4F1xouULtmBXFKS6S9W8AbTEOjQpCEp-zIdyUf3cOhR-Sx3-d4f0WYtQwM5xSbFmesQ5PcCfb6hvgVqVMRchL8VCGb7JzKuwCqbgOGEQjSnhN7pw/s320/Screenshot%202022-03-29%2012.22.31%20AM.png" width="228" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The SINATRA CELEBRITY COOKBOOK</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>BARBARA SINATRA & FRIENDS</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"IT'S a CRIME THIS BOOK Was EVER PUBLISHED"</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Sorry to say, but This BOOK is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE !!!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>With a CAPITAL "T"</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>So UNWORTHY of The LATE GREAT FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>"BASTA" !!!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><br /><b><br /></b></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDj_2FSQlFT2-ZzNPzuWz3kZ9rffF4Y7430GK37oNzeLtEMu1fDqtyDKfwrYsbapUBW-uxZAxknV5wfLsUPM5R8PNyEO9iJR4B28rtTRWPbEaH6_ZTkue2QnotzjAzIkpg7_rngSZirbVAids3gQ96fVeJHsS4X4KXaSwfaMGvYvFil0YLqwFr6GJEoQ/s314/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-06%20at%201.52.33%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="314" data-original-width="282" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDj_2FSQlFT2-ZzNPzuWz3kZ9rffF4Y7430GK37oNzeLtEMu1fDqtyDKfwrYsbapUBW-uxZAxknV5wfLsUPM5R8PNyEO9iJR4B28rtTRWPbEaH6_ZTkue2QnotzjAzIkpg7_rngSZirbVAids3gQ96fVeJHsS4X4KXaSwfaMGvYvFil0YLqwFr6GJEoQ/s1600/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-06%20at%201.52.33%20PM.png" width="282" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<strong>Frank Sinatra, both the greatest singer and greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. No question. Sinatra was a legendary icon whose star still shines bright. He was a musical icon, celebrity, international personality, and to millions of Italian-Americans he was our own, a <em>paisan</em>. </strong><div><strong><br /></strong></div><div><b>Frank was an Italian-American whose ancestry is from Genoa on his mother's side of the family and Sicilian on his father's side. And being Italian, Frank loved the food he grew up with, Dolly made a mean Marinara Sauce as well as Meatballs and the all-time Italian-American favorite Sunday Sauce (aka Gravy). Frank loved the food of his childhood; the Spaghetti & Meatballs, Stuffed Artichokes, Pasta Fazool, Frittata, Eggplant Parmigiana and all the usual suspects of the Italian-American table.</b> <div><strong><br /></strong></div><div><strong>It's a well known fact that Frank's favorite restaurant was Patsy's on 56th Street in New York ... When Frank went to Patsy's his favorite dishes were Calms Posillipo and Veal Milanese with a nice plate of Spaghetti Pomodoro in-between, and maybe a slice of Cheesecake to finish if Frank was in the mood.</strong>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>PASTA with RAGU BOLOGNESE</strong></p>

<strong>So you go out and get some Provolone or other cheese if you’re going to serve a mixed antipasto before the Bolognese. Get some good Sweet Sopresseta, a jar of good quality Roast Red Peppers, and the best Italian Olives you can get, and your mixed antipasto is all set. Tell each guest to bring a nice bottle of Italian Wine, unless you prefer to buy the wine yourself, it’s all up to you. And there is nothing wrong with your guests each bringing a bottle. When they do so you end up getting a nice variety of different wines for everyone to taste, making your party not just a Party alla Bolognese but a pleasant little wine tasting as well. Nice, no? Yes, this works out quite well, and it makes the party a little more interesting, tasting the different wines. Tell your friends to bring Chianti, Barbera, Montepulciano di Abruzzo, or Lambrusco which is from Emilia Romagna and is the perfect wine if you’re having either Prosciutto & Melon or a Mixed Antipasto with some nice Salumi and Cheese to start.</strong>
<strong>You’ve got to have some nice background music for your party. The best music would be a mix of first and foremost Frank Sinatra, with Dean Martin, a little Tony Bennett, and some Louis Prima to boot. Hip Hop and Heavy Metal are strictly forbidden and an absolute no-no, you don’t want to ruin your party with bad music, do you?</strong>
<strong>Dessert and coffee are always great. They are not an absolute must, but I do highly recommend you serve coffee and dessert. Again, you may want to have one or two of your friends pick up some dessert. Italian desserts like: Ricotta Cheesecake, Italian Pastries and or Cookies, or Gelato are all great, but not absolutely necessary that the dessert be Italian. Maybe one of your friends makes a great Pineapple Upside Down Cake, a Red Velvet Cake or something like that is great. What’s important is you have a dessert, it’s just another little facet of your dinner party, your Party alla Bolognese. And don’t forget the Bolognese is the centerpiece and as they say in France <em>The Piece de Resistance</em>!</strong>

<strong>PARTY alla BOLOGNESE CHECKLIST</strong>
<ol>
<li><strong>Get your ingredients for the Bolognese; the ground meat you choose. Tomatoes, wine, pasta, milk, butter, Olive Oil, and dry Porcini Mushrooms if you decide to use them.</strong></li>
</ol>
<strong>2. Get your ingredients for your Antipasto course.</strong>
<strong>3. Buy at least two bottles of good Italian Wine, even if you have your guest bring wine, you’ll still want to get at least two bottles of your own.</strong>
<strong>4. Have plenty of spring or filtered water. Buy gallons of Spring Water (at least 2 gallons or more).</strong>
<strong>5. Buy one or two loaves of good Italian Bread.</strong>
<strong>6. Make the Bolognese! It’s great to make the night before the party. Just to let you know, it doesn’t hurt that the Bolognese is made the night before, it’s actually better.</strong>
<strong>7. Make sure you have some great music; Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin and or some nice mellow R&B music.</strong>
<strong>8. Before your guest arrive, get your antipasto or salad ready to go when you need it. Keep it simple. If you choose one of the antipasto items from the antipasto section in this book, you can’t go wrong, they’re all real simple and don’t require any cooking, other than if you choose the Shrimp Cocktail, which is super simple and takes just a few minutes and can be done ahead of time, a few hours before or the day before your party.</strong>
<strong>9. A few minutes before you will be serving the antipasto, put your pot of Bolognese on the stove and turn the heat onto the lowest flame possible to heat up the Bolognese Sauce. If after the Bolognese is simmering for twenty minutes, it looks like it is getting dried out, you can add some water.</strong>
<strong>10. Put a large pot of water on to cook the pasta. Put a lot of salt in the pasta cooking water.</strong>
<ol start="11">
<li><strong>Serve the antipasto course to your guest and make sure you have some nice Sinatra tunes playing. Enjoy the antipasto with your guest.</strong></li>
</ol>
<strong>12. Turn the water for the pasta on to a high flame. After you have eaten your antipasto with your guest wait about 15 minutes or more before you serve the Pasta alla Bolognese.</strong>
<strong>13. Rigatoni, Cavatappi, Fusilli, or some sort of short pasta are the best type of pasta to serve with your Ragu Bolognese at Party alla Bolognese party, as it’s easy to serve and to eat short maccheroni as opposed to long pasta like Spaghetti or Tagiatelle for your guest. Got that? Serve a short pasta.</strong>
<strong>14. After everyone has eaten their antipasto and are enjoying their wine, throw the pasta in the water to cook. The pasta will take about 12 minutes to cook. You want to have about 20 minutes in-between the antipasto and Bolognese course, so throw the pasta in the boiling water 10 minutes after everyone has finished eating the antipasto.</strong>
<strong>15. Follow the directions for cooking the pasta that is on the pasta package. Once the pasta is finished cooking, drain the pasta in a colander, reserving about a ¼ cup of the pasta cooking liquid. Add the pasta back to the pot that it cooked in. Add some of the Bolognese with a couple knobs of butter to the pot and mix the pasta and Bolognese Sauce together. Have a plate ready for each guest and plate each one with an equal portion of the Pasta Bolognese. Serve to your guest and make sure to pass around grated cheese.</strong>
<strong>OK So How Do you make The BOLOGNESE you want to know? The RECIPE is in The COOKBOOK, The RAGU BOLOGNESE COOKBOOK, where else?</strong>

Well, if I really tried, I could have gotten in sooner, but I wasn't pushing it. Been quite busy in those 5 months, and was eager to go through all the Riga Ramo to get it in. My buddy Rob called me last week and said he got us a table for February 1st. "Cool" It was going to be just the two of us, but a good friend asked if she could come too, so Rob called to see if we could add another, and Alessandro said it was OK, so there we go, me, Rob, and Alyssa make up our group. Rob is a wine salesman in New York, and is selling Alessandro wine at Roscioli, so we were able to get a table. We would have went sooner, but something came up, and Alessandro had to fly bakc to Italy for a couple months. We were waiting for him to come back, and then we'd go. And now the time has come, and me , Alyssa, and Rob are quite excited. We're going tonight.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>To Be CONTINUED !!!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>We'll eat at Roscioli tonight. I will finish writing this piece tomorrow or the next day. Naturally I have to go and eat, and drink, and experience the vibe, and gather the experience and info, before I can write about it. So, "Caio for now. See you all tomorrow."</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Roscioli was a "Major Disappointment." !!! Not Good at all. The food was totally sub-par. We ordered 7 dishes. and not one of them was tasty at all, including 2 Roman dishes that should have been Homeruns, but were total Strikeouts !!! So sad. These two Roman dishes where the Rigatoni Amatricana and Cacio Pepe. The so-called Amatriciana Sauce was a "Total Zero" in execution. Bland and without taste. Same goes for Cacio Pepe, really bad. I myself, am not that great at making Cacio Pepe, it's a hard dish to master. However, I make one of the Best Amatriciana Sauce's you will ever taste in your life. My Amatriciana is amazing, and "Blows the one at Roscioli Out of the Water" !!! No contest, mine is great, there's is Horrible. "No Brag, just Fact" </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The good points at Rosciolo - New York, where the ambiance was pretty good, they played Great Music and the Wine was good, as was the service. Good servers, but the front door people, not so good. But the Biggest Crime at Rosciolo is the Food, which is Not Good at All. So if you've had a hard time getting a table. don't fret. If you're looking for Superior Food than the food at Roscioli's there are two Italian Restaurants within two blocks that serve much Better Food than Roscioli's. Better food by far at Bar Pitti on 6th Avenue, one block from Roscioli's, and you'll also get much tastier food at Monte's Trattoria up the block from Roscioli, at 97 Macdougal Street, at Monte's Trattoria. If you're looking for tasty pasta, which Roscioli "is supposed to have?" Not !

I love Italian Wine, Venice, and Wine Bars so much that I created the first Venetian Wine Bar (Bacaro) in America. I named it Bar Cichetti. As a result of opening Bar Cichetti in Greenwich Village, New York, I got more deeply into Italian Wine, and got to know many of Italy's top wine producers. Once I opened Bar Cichetti, every Italian Wine person coming to New York wanted to meet me, and see Bar Cichetti. The first people I met, were the Conti Caponi of Villa Calcinaia, who produced beautiful Chinati, and Olive Oil in Greve, in Chianti. I actually met the Noble Florentines, Nicola and Sebastiano Caponi, and had lunch with them at their beautiful estate in Greve. We actually had to meet upo with the two brothers at their family Palazzo in Florence, next to the Ponte Vecchio, and then we drove to Greve, to Villa Calcinaia. They showed us around the cellars and the vineyards and then we sat down to an incredible lunch with Nicola & Sebastiano Caponi in the beautiful old dining room in the castle. It was amazing to say the least.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>After our amazing visit with the two Counts, we drove down to the next town, Panzano to meet up with Giovanni Manetti of Fontodi, one of Tuscany's top Super Tuscan and Chianti producers. It was an amazing day, and the most wonderful introduction to Italian Wines, at the estates, with the said owners. A day I shall never forget. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Well, I've gotta off the track a bit. As usual. But to make a point. The point being that because of the position I created, becoming one of New York's top Italian Wine Guys, as they say, I was invited to many exclusive wine events, such as Luncheons, Dinners, seminars, and special tastings.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Some of the most notable occasions I found myself in, were : the previously mentioned luncheon with the two Caponi brothers at Villa Calcinaia, a luncheon at Barolo Restaurant in NY with Antonella Boccino of Contratto, a special Dinner at Becco with Sebastiano Rosa of Sassicaia fame, lunch with Pio Boffa of Pio Cesare, a vertical tasting of 5 vintages of Tiganello with the Marchese Piero Antinori at Bottega del Vino in New York, an incrediable Dinner with Jacapo Biondi Sante of Biondi Sante, at Spark's Steak House in New York, gorging on Baked Clams and Steak, while downing some of the World's Best Brunello, Super Tuscan, and Moscadello wine. The list goes on and on, and is far to long to write about here.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>So again, I've gone to many memorable Italian Wine Events over the years. I have touched on a few, and another I wrote about a few years back. It was a Brunello Seminar Tasting conducted by the Great Kevin Zraly (Wine Educator) at the 2013 Brunello Tasting, at Gotham Hall in New York City. I had heard about Kevin, but never met him before. We tasted some great Brunello that day, and along with the great Brunello's we tasted, the other star of the show, was Mr. Kevin Zraly himself. He has his own wonderful style of talking about wine, and the way he conducts his seminars is Entertaining, Educational, and Mind Blowing.

<b>The Great Kevin Zraly held a Brunello Seminar at The New York Brunello Tasting 2013 ...And for the few lucky enough to attend, it was quite a great event. Great, yes great, and Mr. Keven Zraly in my book is quite great when it comes to knowledge of wine, his Love and approach to it, drinking, tasting for his own pleasure and knowledge as well as the Drinking, Tasting, and Education Kevin imparts on those in his classes, readers and owners of his famed Windows On The World Wine Course (Book), and anyone as I've Just said "Lucky Enough to Attend One of Mr. Zraly's Wine Seminars," in this case for one of Italy's and The World's most esteemed wines and one of Kevin's 3 Favorite Wines (Kevin's words) Brunello di Montalcino.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b> "Don't Touch It! Don't touch it !!!" shouts Kevin Zraly, near the beginning of his seminar. He know there are always people on every level of experience at any one of the many wine seminars he has conducted over the years, including the most experienced and at least one or maybe several people who have never ever been to a Seminar Wine Tasting like this in their lives. This maybe their first one, "Don't Touch Don't touch!!!" It's quite funny and a bit shocking the way Kevin does these as he sets the tone for his style of wine seminar, which is "No Muss No Fuss No BS," and as Mr. Zraly says no English Poetry, in an effort to say there will be none of that overdone pontification, just straight normal talk, and talk even a beginner could grasp about wine, and with Kevin his approach will make you love the object and the subject of "Wine" even more. That's what a great wine educator does. There are not many better than Kevin Zraly, "if any?"</b><br />
<b> </b><div><b>Yes, the seminar was quite wonderful. If being at the most important Brunello Tasting of the year wasn't enough, and being the first in the World to taste the 2008 Vintage and 07 Riservas, in a beautiful setting like Gotham Hall, in The Greatest City in The World, and as the Head of The Brunello Consorzio stated this glorious day, "New York Is The Greatest and Most Important Market in The World For The Producers of Brunello di Montalcino." Yes Sir "It Is." Yes those at The New York Brunello Tasting were among-st the first in the World to taste these fine wines, and Mr.s Zraly made that point, as well as stating how wonderful the Wines were, that we were very fortunate to be drinking them, and that Brunello was along with Bordeaux, one of his 3 Favorite wines in the World to drink. Myself and Michael Colameco (Who is The fine host of "Real Food" one of TV's Best Cooking Shows on PBS) sitting next to me at the seminar, we both surmised the third of Kevin's 3 Favorite Wines of The World had to be Burgundy. This we need to find out.</b></div><div><b><br /></b>
<b> "Smell it 3 times. Cover the glass with your hand. Sniff! Toast the person sitting next to you and drink. Think about it for 1 minute at 15 second intervals. Do you still taste it? What do you taste?" Well, we tasted 8 very fine offerings of this fabulous wine, Brunello di Montalcino. The wines were all wonderful, and being at Benvenuto Brunello in such a gorgeous setting as Gotham Hall and being led in a Tasting of Great Brunello by one of the World's Greatest Authorities on Wine, this was a combination that was unbeatable. Being in the Italian Wine and Restaurant Business for more than 25 and writing for another 8, I can tell your that I've been to many a incredible wine event, like: a Vertical Wine tasting and Luncheon with the Marchese Piero Antinori, Dinner at Spark's Steak-House with Jacopo Biondi Santi and his wines, as well as lunches and dinners on many great wine estates in Italy. The kind of events people would kill to be able to attend, I've been to many, and this Brunello Seminar tasting with kevin Zraly shall be filed in my head with some of those other great wine moments. It was most enjoyable, and I'm so glad I made it (almost din't go).</b><div><b><br /></b>
<b> So Bravo Brunello! And Bravo Kevin for your passion, love of the wine, and the way you lead others, in your very Zraly Direction.</b><br />

<b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>BRUNELLO SEMINAR with KEVEN ZRALY .. January 31, 2013 .... Afternoon Seminar</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>WINES: BRUNELLO di MONTALCINO</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>1. Palazzo - 2008</b><br />
<b>2. Fanti -2008</b><br />
<b>3. Tenute Sivio Nardi - 2008</b><br />
<b>4. Donatella Cinelli Colombini - 2008</b><br />
<b>5. Uccelliera - 2008</b><br />

<b>7. Col D'Orcia 2001</b><br />
<b>8. IL Poggione Riserva 1999</b></div><div><b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b><b><br />An overall assessment and thoughts on the 8 Brunello's we tasted. First off, they were all very good to wonderful to remarkable. A great line-up including some excellent producers and very fine vintages of recent years. It seemed an overall consensus that pretty much everyone (Writers, Restaurant People, Wine Professionals, and Hobbyists) in the room liked each and every wine we drank, all wonderful wines, and with Kevin "Cheer-Leading" us with his love of wine and Brunello, I believe everyone enjoyed these wines even more than if they had tasted all 8 in another manner than this great tasting-seminar.</b></div><div><b><br /></b>
<b> As all wines were wonderful, I must admit that there were 3 wines that we all got a bit more excited and super-charged over. These wines were; the Brunello Uccelliera 2008, the Brunello Col D'Orcia 2001, and the Brunello IL Poggione 1999 ... Without going into any, as Kevin Zraly would say "English Poetry" these 3 wines were just wonderful. The kind of wines you light up over and just saying "Wow," is enough to say that they had everything you want in a great Brunello or any great wine, great aroma, Wonderful Taste combined with "Perfect Balance," and simply greatness.</b></div><div><b><br /></b>
<b> Again, a great tasting, overall Benvenuto Brunello, lots of great wines, wonderful people, and a fine Seminar-Tasting of Brunello conducted by Mr. Kevin Zraly. Again, Bravo!</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b>

<b>Brunello Time in New York! Hey I think i just coined a new phrase for our great city New York. Yes I know it can never catch on like the poetic "Autumn in New York" ... Autumn in New York, the phrase started as a song in 1937, a song that became quite famous and sung by many musical greats like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitgerald to name just two. The phrase has been made into a movie, and tough it has been a hugely successful song, it's greatest popularity and famed comes as a "Saying" and Slogan of The Great City of New York, "Autumn in New York." Brunello Time in New York. No it will never be as famed as the Autumn of New York, but if you're as big as an Italian Wine Geek and Lover like me, this phrase Brunello Time in New York will sound quite wonderful to you. </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b> Yes, yesterday, January 31, 2013 was Brunello Time in New York with for all us Italian Wine Guys (Girls too), one of our biggest and most cherished days of the year, The New York Italian Wine Year anyway. It is the Brunello Tasting, as we New York Wine Guys call it. The official named used by The Consorzio Del Vino Brunello Di Montalcino, the governing body of the famed Italian Wine Brunello, these are the people who organize this great show and tasting of the release of the latest vintage of Brunello, the tasting officially known as Benvenuto Brunello.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b> As I said, this tasting (event) is one of the most dear of the year to me. That is along with the </b></div>
<div>
<b>Tri Bicchieri Tasting, the biggest of the year. The Brunello Tasting is quite dear to me, as Sangiovese is my favorite of all grapes, as are the great wines made of it, especially Chianti and Brunello, my favorites, along with Morellino de Scansano, Vino Nobile, and some Super Tuscans that are based on this noble grape Sangiovese. And speaking of Sngiovese and Brunello, the wine Brunello is made of 100% Sangiovese, and of Snagiovese Grosso, also known as Brunello. And Brunello can only be made in Montalcino, and no-where else in the World, and it must be made to the exacting standards of The Consorzio del Brunello Di Montalcino, of whose President was on hand for the event.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b> The event "The Brunello Tasting" consist of 52 of the more than 200 producers of Brunello. The main reason for this Brunello Tasting is the "Release of The Newest Vintage of Brunello di Montalcino," in this case The 2013 Brunello Tasting is for the Release of The 2008 Brunello's and The 2007 Brunello Riservas. These are the two main wines of the tasting, but other wines are shown and offered, along with Moscadello the famed Dessert Wine of Montalcino based on Moscato. All producers will have on hand their Rosso di Montalcino made with the same grapes (100% Sangiovese Grosso "Brunello") as the Brunello. The Rosso's are not aged as long, and the grape yeild is slighly higher. The 2010 Rosso di Montalcino where on hand, and one of the nice things about drinking these Rossos is that you can get an advanced glimpse of what the 2010 Brunello's will be like when they are released in 2016.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b><b> Well, some Big Guns of Italian Wine were out at the Brunello Tasting. Big Guns from Italy along with some Big New York Italian Wine Guys like; Renzo Raspiacolli (Wine Director Barolo), Phillipo Debarladino, and Charles Scicolone, one of America's Greatest Authorities of Italian Wine "If Not Thee # 1 Top Guy."

Then there are the Tre Bicchieri Wine Events / Tastings held at a few cities around the World to showcase the wines.

The area has ancient traditions and a rich history that spans the centuries, from the Etruscans who left many traces of their activities – including the wine sector - to the fortresses and castles that witnessed countless battles, for the proud Republics of Florence and Siena fought for control of the Chianti throughout the Middle Ages. </b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: times; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>Many of the fortified villages, monasteries and farmhouses appeared during this period and many were later transformed into villas and country residences when times were more tranquil.

Wine production in the Chianti area progressively assumed economic importance and soon established an international reputation; the first notarial document in which the name Chianti appears in reference to the wine produced in the area dates back to 1398 and by the 17th century exports became frequent. As often occurs when a product is highly successful, numerous imitations began to surface over the years and Chianti producers wanted their wine’s name to remain untarnished by lesser quality wines produced elsewhere.

The first version dates back to 1984, when Chianti Classico was still considered a sub-denomination of the Chianti DOCG, albeit with separate and stricter production rules, with modifications made in 1996, 2002 and, more recently, in 2013 when the “Gran Selezione” was introduced. The production code fills many pages and get quite technical, but the most important include: the minimum percentage of Sangiovese that must be used is 80% and the Sangiovese grape can be used alone; other native red grapes like Canaiolo and Colorino, or international varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can also be used (at a maximum ratio of 20%), while no white grapes are permitted (since the 2006 vintage, so older Chianti Classicos may contain a small percentage of Trebbiano or Malvasia). Other rules refer to alcohol content (min. 12% vol. for vintage wine and 12.5% vol. for Riserva) and production guidelines that ensure that a high standard is met: vineyard density and yield (so that the output per vine cannot exceed 3 kg or 6.5 lbs) as well as aging requirements. </span></b></span></p><div data-breakout="normal" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2a2a2a; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding-inline-end: var(--ricos-breakout-normal-padding-end,0); padding-inline-start: var(--ricos-breakout-normal-padding-start,0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><p class="-Zro6 -ZADH IjV6v AnCKd _57WYp" id="viewer-drhvh" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset); direction: ltr; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-style,unset); font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-line-height,unset); margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; text-decoration: var(--ricos-custom-p-text-decoration,unset); vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="d0767" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Producers have the liberty of making many different production choices, but any consumer can know, that if they are drinking a Chianti Classico Riserva, they are drinking a Sangiovese wine that has aged for at least 2 years! </span><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The production of these different wines can easily visualized as a pyramid, where the more commonly produced Annata, as a foundation, peaks into the more exclusively produced Gran Selezione. </b></span></span><span class="d0767" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

It has, however, always retained the symbol of the Black Rooster, which has become an essential element of its image and guarantee of quality. As a symbol, it has always identified the Chianti area and although the true origins of this symbol are unknown, it is connected to a fascinating legend about the rivalry between Siena and Florence, who have always contended the Chianti. The Consortium therefore chose that old symbol as a symbol of the quality of their authentic wines. At its inception in 1924, the Consortium had 33 producer-members. The membership has steadily grown and now exceeds 600, of whom 270 bottle wine under their own labels. </b></span></span><span class="d0767" color="var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset)" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

In a bid to end their interminable wars, the two Tuscan cities decided to entrust the definition of their boundaries to an unusual contest between two horsemen. They agreed that the frontier of the two Republics would be drawn at the point where the riders met </span><span color="var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset)" style="background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; text-align: initial;">after setting out at cockcrow from their respective communities. The Sienese selected a fine and much-pampered white rooster, while the Florentines chose a black rooster and gave it so little to eat that on the appointed day, it began to crow long before dawn. As a result, the Florentine rider set out early and met the other horseman at Fonterutoli, only a dozen miles from Siena. For that reason, virtually all of the Chianti Classico area passed into the hands of Florence. </span></span></b></span><span class="d0767" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b><span style="font-family: times;"><span color="var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset)" style="background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; text-align: initial;"><br /></span></span></b></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block29" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" type="paragraph"></div><div data-breakout="normal" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding-inline-end: var(--ricos-breakout-normal-padding-end,0); padding-inline-start: var(--ricos-breakout-normal-padding-start,0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="-Zro6 -ZADH IjV6v AnCKd _57WYp" id="viewer-bkufp" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset); direction: ltr; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-style,unset); font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-line-height,unset); margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; text-decoration: var(--ricos-custom-p-text-decoration,unset); vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="d0767" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Although the account is just a legend, it is absolutely certain that the profile of a black rooster was the emblem of the historic League of Chianti, which governed the territory from the early years of the 14th century.

I went for a "last meal" back in January and it wasn't my last. But this weekend was it. It seems the whole city knew about the landmark's passing and they all showed up to say goodbye to this wonderful piece of old New York. </span></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times;">One couple came because they met at Gino a decade ago. "It's just too sad," said the husband, ordering their drinks.<br /><br />A woman in leopard print, who looked like an elegant and gracefully aged Kim Novak, flew in all the way from the West Coast just to bid the restaurant farewell. She talked about the famous Zebra Wallpaper--which she installed on the walls of her own bathroom back home. She special ordered it from Scalamandre. The wait time was 36 months, but it was worth it. </span></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times;">And the regulars were all there. One gentlemanly silver-haired fellow looked at the growing crowd and said, "If only it had been this busy all the time. It wouldn't be closing."<br /><br />A woman with a husky voice sipped Campari and sodas. She had one more than her usual number. She said, "I was practically born here. I can't explain how I feel at this bar. Safe. I feel safe. Like I'm home. Is that silly? I don't know what I'm going to do now."</span></b></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times;">People hugged the owners and said, "I'm gonna miss you." Camera flashes popped in every corner. The telephone never stopped ringing. It was answered, when it was answered, with an accented "Hello, Gino?" The crowd roared.

The results: 314 leaping zebras set against spaghetti-sauce red. “I chose it because I love to hunt,” Circiello later told </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: inherit; text-align: start;">The New York Times</em><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"> about the pattern, which was also punctuated by teeny, tiny flying arrows. “And it is something that people will remember.”</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><b>It worked. The zebras became the restaurant’s hallmark until a fire ravaged the place in 1973. Gino’s wasn’t Gino’s without the zebras, so Circiello turned to artist and designer Flora Scalamandré, cofounder with husband Franco of their namesake fabric-and-wallpaper company. She fastidiously redrew the zebras and cut new screens, creating a spitting image of Crescenzi’s original. Well, almost—at some point in the printing process, a stripe was left off the smaller zebra’s rump.Nobody noticed until the pattern, straightforwardly known as Zebras, was back on the walls, so it was decided to leave it as is—another charming detail of a place where Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, and Barbra Streisand might have slurped spaghetti next to everyday New Yorkers. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;">Circiello died in 2001, and his legendary restaurant was shuttered nine years later due in large part to an exorbitant rent increase (it was replaced by a cupcake shop). But the zebras, it turns out, had legs of their own. They appeared in films (Woody Allen’s 1995 </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: inherit; text-align: start;">Mighty Aphrodite</em><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;">, Wes Anderson’s 2001 </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; line-height: inherit; text-align: start;">The Royal Tenenbaums</em><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;">) and interiors around the world. Now printed in a range of hues on paper, fabric, grass cloth, and, most recently, peel-and-stick NuWallpaper, Zebras remains a best seller at Scalamandré (the missing stripe is back). People love it for the same reason they loved Gino’s—it’s a tried-and-true classic.</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Segreto-Italiano-Italian-Recipes-Favorite/dp/1500727237" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="410" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggrfzuYle1JEwjAYzsRNWItdqnNYwsV9EEhaatNuW0Xrt0v0X9rH9T8S79iwtxYPKHZJxQZ_tveWsbPtk-GNrMwoA1wVYi0dJLjexg9kGR20hskyKMftXVFMqjgvwHSziB4cPMkJPkdx3-iWD6F5VLik9onMOIp67dUuD2qsm_UUr5qx48LyQrnTW-uvI/s320/Screenshot%202024-01-08%20134814.png" width="222" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">AMERICA'S FAVORITE ITALIAN FOOD</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">And SECRET RECIPES</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Including SALSA SEGRETO From GINO'S </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Segreto-Italiano-Italian-Recipes-Favorite/dp/1500727237" target="_blank"><b>AMAZON.com</b></a><br /></div><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;">SALSA SEGRETO at GINO'S</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b2b2b; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold;"> </span><b> Segreto? It’s secret in Italian. I got the idea for the book one day, well not the idea, but inspiration I’d say. I was thinking about one of our all-time favorites restaurants, the food, the ambiance and all the fun we’d had there over the years. Many wonderful meals with family and friend, no foes. Dinners with Cousin Joe, Sister Barbara, Brother Michael, and Jimmy. Oh, the food was wonderful, all the great Italian Classics of good old Italian-American Red Sauce Joints of which this one, was one of the best. The classics, like: Baked Clams, Stuffed Artichokes, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Linguine with Clam Sauce, Chicken Parmigiano, Veal Marsala & Milanese, Chicken Cacctiatore, Ossobuco, Cannolis, Spumoni, and-on-and-on. I think you get the picture. Lots of good, affordable Italian Wine, the affable waiter, the phone booth, and the Zebra Wall Paper. If you were a regular their, from the last sentence, you the place I’m talking about. Yes Gino’s! Our beloved Gino’s of Lexington Avenue. Sadly they closed a few years ago. But we still have the memories of so many festive meals. Happy times, good eats.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> I discovered the wonders of Gino’s and first brought my cousin Joe there in 1999. The place was thrilling in that, when you walked in, you felt you were in the perfect place. Gino’s is charged with energy by its wonderful clientele, well-healed regulars who have been going there for years, they know the Maitre’d, the waiters and other customers, and likewise the waiters, bartender, and maitre’d know them. The first time you walk in, you feel that, and want to be a part of it. We did. Back then, Joe and I used to go out to eat together all the time, at least once a week. Joe knew about food, but not to the extent that I did. Joe would come in every week or so, and his driver would drive us around town. He’d pick me up early evening for a night of feasting and good times. We’d often eat at a couple different place. We’d have our main dinner and maybe a little bite to eat when we first went for cocktails to start the night off. As I said, Joe loved eating, and knew quite a bit, but as much as he knew, it wasn’t a third of what I knew about food, wine, and restaurants, and especially the restaurant, bar, and night club scene in New York. I was teaching Joe the ropes, so-to-speak, and Joe was an eager student. We had quite a lot of fun those few years, with dinners at Gino’s, Elio’s (Mondays for Lasagna), Da Silvanos’s, Bar Pitti, The Waverly Inn, Minetta Tavern, cocktails at Pegu and Temple Bar, and way too many other places to name right here. We did New York, we did it all!<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> Back to Gino’s. So I had passed by Gino’s any number of times, but never went in to check it out. I was a downtown-er, and that’s where we did most of our eating, with an occasional trip midtown or other local if a place peaked our interest. So I did finally walk into Gino’s one day. I had to check it out. When I did, as I’ve already said, I walked in the door and immediately felt the energy of the place. Gino’s was packed, full of life and vibrant, and I knew I wanted to be there. I didn’t eat there right then and there, I was scouting the place out, but I knew I would be back. So I called Joe up and told him all about the place. It sounded great to Joe, this type of place was right up his alley, as it was mine. So Joe said yes, let’s check it out on our next night out.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> Our first ever trip to Gino’s was a few nights later. Joe packed me up at my place in Greenwich Village. I got in the car, as usual, we had a little discussion on what we’d be doing. We mapped out the night of eating and drinking, good times. We talked and decided to head over to Otto Enoteca for a bottle of wine and some Salumi before heading up town to Gino’s and our main dinner of the night. Joe loved Otto, and I was a fan too, so we headed to Otto.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> Well, we went to Otto, drank a little wine, had some Testa, Mortadella, and Prosciutto, and it was on to Gino’s. Back in the car, and Ziggy (our driver) drove us up to Lexington Avenue, across the street from Bloomingdale’s to Gino’s. We were excited as we walked up to the restaurant and through the door. The place was packed and super-charged. We loved it. The Maitre’d greeted us with the first of many warm welcomes. We were in like Flynn. We sat down at a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. We were happy campers. As happy as can be, for we sensed a wonderful meal ahead. Our hunch would turn out to be just right. A waiter came to our table, greeted us a warm welcome, gave us a wine list and menus, and asked what type of water we wanted. As always, we got a bottle of flat water. Joe gave me the wine list as he usually does and told me to pick something out. I looked over the reasonably priced list and picked out a tried and true wine from my good friend Luigi Capellini in Greve. The wine, a bottle of Verrazzano Chianti Classico. The waiter went to get the wine, and Joe and I looked over the menu. We were happy to see a great old school Italian menu. The Red Sauce kind of a good old classic Italian-American joint, of which there used to be many, but at this point of time, far fewer. They had; Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Clams, Hot Antipasto, Clams Posillipo, Spaghetti Vongole, Lasagna, Canneloni, Veal Parm, Veal Milanese, Eggplant Parmigiano, Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Veal Marsala, Scampi, and all the usual suspects. We were in heaven, and it was heard narrowing down what to eat.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"> One dish really caught our attention, and especially Joe, who although I love my pasta, Joe had has me beat, he’s the pasta freak. Freak in a </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">good way that is. The dish was <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Segreto-Italiano-Italian-Recipes-Favorite/dp/1500727237" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Pasta Segreto</a> (Pasta w/Secret Sauce), and us intrigued.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> The waiter brought the bottle of Chianti, opened it, and we were on our way. I ripped off a piece of bread and ate it. So, we decided on the menu. We order a Shrimp Cocktail and Baked Clams Oreganata to start. We would share these two antipasto items, then move on to the Primi, the pasta course. We decided on, and just had to have the Pasta Segrete, a half order each. We both love Veal Milanese (Frank Sinatra’s favorite), and as we were having antipasto, and pasta, as well as a couple desserts, we decided on one Veal Milanese to split for the main course, thus leaving room for some tasty desserts we knew Gino’s would have. We talked with the our waiter about the menu, and he agreed that we had chosen wisely, and that one Milanese would be fine, so we could eat dessert and he’d help us pick the two best later.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> So we drank wine, and nibble on the bread, chatted and waited in anticipation for the antipasto to arrive. I love Shrimp Cocktail since childhood and don’t always eat it all that much these days, so it’s always a special treat. The Baked Clams and the Shrimp Cocktail came and were a great way to start the meal. The wine was great. Hey it’s Castello Verrazzano!<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> So now, we were really excited. This mysterious Pasta Segreto was about to come out. You can get the Secret Sauce with whatever Pasta you like, Spaghetti, Raviolis, Tagiolini, Penne, Gnocchi, or Rigatoni. Joe and I both love Rigatoni, so that’s what we went for, two half portions of Rigatoni Segrete. Well, the waiter brought us our Pasta with Secret Sauce. Guess what! It was outrageous, we loved it. Joe went crazy, and could stop talking about it, and it was just a couple weeks before he’d have to go back and get another “Fix.” Yes the Pasta with the Secret Sauce did not disappoint. We loved it, and would be back for many more bowls.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> We finished the Pasta, grudgingly so, as we didn’t want the experience to end, “It was that good!” We waited a few minutes for the Veal Milanese. It came out, and we could tell just by looking at it, that it would be great. For those of you who might not know, Veal Milanese is one of Italy’s most famous a classic of all dishes. It’s a Veal Chop that’s pounded thin, breaded with breadcrumbs and fried and tipped with a Salad of Arugala and Tomato. The dish is simple, simply delicious when done right. Veal Milanese was one of Frank Sinatra’s all-time favorite dish, along with Spaghetti Meatballs, and Clams Posillipo. Frank used to get it often at his favorite of all restaurants, Patsy’s of West 56<sup>th</sup> Street, just 10 blocks from Gino’s. Both old-school Italian Joints were among Frank’s favorites. Patsy’s was Frank’s # 1 favorite, but Gino’s wasn’t far behind, and Ol’ Blue Eyes ate there many times over the years. Anyway, the Veal Milanese was just perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, life is good at times like these.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> We finished our Veal Milanese, and it was now time to think about desserts. I love sweets and so does Joe, so he said we gotta get two. The waiter told us the Tiramisu was “The Best in Town,” and the Cheesecake was really wonderful as well, so we went with his suggestions. Throw in a couple cups of Espresso and some Anisette too, and we were still in heaven.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><b> Needless to say, our meal was fantastic.

Joe loved the Pate Segrete and kept talking about it. He was back for more. We loved the menu we had the last time, and pretty much went with the same again. When we were eating the Segrete Pasta I identified the secret ingredients. They were butter and Parmigiano, mixed into Gino’s basic tomato sauce. Just a little butter and the grated Parmigiano does the trick for a tasty sauce. The recipe is in the book, and don’t worry, we didn’t eat the same thing every time we went to Gino’s. Over the years, we pretty much had every dish on the menu, from; the Minestrone and Pasta Fagioli, Manicotti, Lasagna, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Chicken Parmigiano, Veal Marsala and all. Specials too! We ate it all. “And loved every minute of it.” Gino’s, we miss you so!

<strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>La VIGILIA </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Feast of The 7 Fish</strong>
<strong> My Aunt Helen used to make the famous Italian Christmas Eve Dinner, “The Feast of 7 Fishes,” The 7 Fish of the Seven Sacraments. I know she made it because I used to hear her talking about it when I was a little kid. Although I shared many wonderful meals with my dear Aunt Helen, I never had the pleasure of having the famous Christmas Eve Dinner “La Vigilia” Feast of Seven Fish with her. We always had Christmas Eve dinner with the immediate family and Aunt Helen had the Christmas Eve with her brother and sister and other family members. Aunt Helen was born in Salerno, Italy and was my Uncle Franks (1 of my Mother’s 3 brothers) better half. So for our Christmas Dinner my mother would make an Antipasto of Salami, Provolone, Peppers, and Olives, followed by Baked Ziti and a Baked Ham studded with cloves and Pineapple rings.</strong>
<strong>The first time I ever had the mystical dinner was about 12 years ago with my cousin Joe, his family and my girlfriend Duyen. </strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We had been talking about this famous Italian Feast a few weeks previous, and were thinking of making it. Joe told me he wanted to have the Christmas Eve Meal of The Feast of The 7 Fishes, known in Italy as La Viglia (The Vigil) or “La Festa Dei Sette Pesci,” which is also known in Italian-America as The Feast of The 7 Fish, that signify the 7 Sacraments. Now, how’s all that for a mouthful?</strong>
<strong> </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This Dinner, <em>La Viglia</em> originated in Southern Italy, especially in and around the environs of Napoli. The Feast of The 7 Fish is a Southern Italian tradition that does not exist in the rest of Italy, it is of the South. La Viglia, or “The Feast of the Seven Fishes” as it is known to Italian-Americans commemorates the waiting (Vigil) of the Baby Jesus to be Born at Midnight and the Seven Fish represent the Seven Sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. Some also believe that the Seven Fish might signify the 7 Days of Creation, or The Seven Deadly Sins, but most believe the 7 Fish pertain to the Seven Sacraments.</strong>
<strong> So Joe asked me if I wanted to make this festive and all important dinner, to perform the ceremony. He didn’t need to ask twice. I had never made it before and was dying to do so. For a long time I had yearned to partake in this celebrated old Southern Italian Ritual, and this was my chance. Naturally I was excited, so was Joe. </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The anticipation of the Great Feast to come was of happy expectations and excitement.</strong>
<strong> And what for the menu? I know Aunt Helen made Bacala, Shrimp Oreganata, Mussels, Baked Clams, Calamari, Octopus, and eel, all much Loved Southern Italian (especially Napoli and Sicily) Creatures of the Sea. We decided which fish we wanted and how to cook each one. Much thought and planning went into the menu and its execution. Joe wanted; Langoustines, Lobster, and Bacala. Alexandra asked if I would make Stuffed Calamari. We also decided on Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Clams Oreganata, and Cozze al Posillipo. The menu was set. Duyen helped me with the Calamari which we stuffed with Shrimp, parsley, breadcrumbs, and Peas. We braised the Calamari with tomato, White Wine, and herbs, and if I must say so myself, the Calamari came out superbly. The Stuffed Calamari were a lot of work to make, but well worth the effort as they were a huge hit with all. The Macari boys, Joey, Edward, and Tommy, as well as sister Gabriella, Alex, Joe, Duyen, Jose and Sergio from Barcelona were all in attendance.</strong>
<strong> The Mussels Posillipo were cooked with garlic, white wine, parsley, and tomato. The sauce is great to dip your bread into. This dish was one of my mother’s favorites back in the days when few Americans other than those of Italian origins ever ate these wonderful little bivalves. Now-a-days every-body does. As a young boy I remember my mother sending me to Bella Pizza in East Rutherford to get an order of them for her. She always gave me a few and I have Loved them ever since.</strong>
<strong> Joe helped me to cook the Langoustines. They are hard to find and I had to order a ten-pound box from Silvano in order to get them. </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The best way to cook langoustines is to split them in half and sauté them on each side in olive oil with a little butter and garlic. We served the Langoustines the same way as Silvano does as we feel his recipe is the best and everybody loves them that way. The Langoustines are served with a salad of thinly shaved fennel and celery dressed in olive oil and lemon with some split cherry tomatoes. Absolutely delicious!!!</strong>
<strong> The Lobsters we prepared the best way possible, the New England way, steamed and served simply with drawn butter and lemon wedges. There’s nothing better on Earth, well except for Sunday Sauce of course.</strong>
<strong> </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Well, that Christmas Eve Dinner The Feast of Seven Fishes was quite a wonderful experience. It was a huge success but quite a bit too much work and actually, too much food, everyone was kind of full already by the fifth fish. The following year we decided on incorporating the Seven Fish into three courses instead of seven separate ones as it’s just too much, too much to eat and too much to cook, a lot of work, and who needs to work that hard on Christmas. It was a good decision. We still had 7 different fish, which is a must. Serving these 7 Fish in three courses was a good idea as it is much more manageable that way, both to cook and to eat.</strong>
<strong> </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>On this Feast of The 7 Fish in “3 Courses” we decided to make the Stuffed Calamari, which I would not have chosen again because it was a lot of work, but it was Alex and Joe’s favorite and they said that it was a must. This was our Antipasto Course. Alexandra and her mom helped me, so the amount of work was cut down and divided into three, “A good thing.”</strong>
<strong>The stuffed calamari took care of two of the seven the shrimp that were stuffed into the squid.</strong>
<strong> The second course (Primi) of Linguine Frutti de Mare consumed four of the Seven Fish required for the meal. It consisted of Mussels, Clams, Lobster, and Scallops cooked with garlic, oil, herbs, and just a touch of tomato.</strong>
<strong> The seventh and final fish was fresh Cod that I roasted and served with a sweet and sour onion sauce (Bacala Fresca Agro Dolce). Everybody went bananas for it especially cousin Joe who raved at each and every dish I put down. It’s a pleasure cooking for Joe as his passion for eating and for the Italian American way of life, the food, the wine, the rituals. </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Joe truly Loves and savors the experience, so I always love to cook for him, Alexandra, their children, or just about anyone for who savors the experience so well. This goes the same for my cousin Anthony Bellino his wife Debbie and their three girls Chrissy, Danna, and Allison, along with all my close friends and family.</strong>
<strong> It makes cooking a joy rather than a chore. When cooking for family or friends, you give two of life’s great gifts, a tasty Home-Cooked meal combined with a little bit of Love. Scratch that. “A whole lotta Love!”</strong>
<strong> </strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you don’t want to go so crazy, with 7 Fish as it’s quite an undertaking, you should try to do an odd numbers; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11. Three (3) is a Nice Number and Represents the Holy Trinity of The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Buon Natale!</strong>

The water was not changed for three days and, when the flowers were thrown away, the prior noticed that the water had acquired a fragrance unknown to him.

mother used to make every now and then. Usually when her friend Mary Santangelo
gave her a couple big Cucuzza, from their backyard garden in Garfield. My
mother Lucia learned this recipe from her mother who used to make it back in
Sicily, and she learned how to make it from her mother, my Great Grandmother
Salemi. This dish is one of the quintessential recipes of this book, and also
of both the Italian-American and Sicilian-American table as a whole, and of
course of Sicilians in Sicily, especially in the years of the first 70 years of
the 20<sup>th</sup> Century from around 1900 to 1970’s or so. The soup is easy
to make and quite economical, feeding about 15 or 16 portions of which you can
serve over a 3 - 4 day time. Cucuzza are not always available in every store,
however more and more super markets are carrying them during their growing season,
and you can always get them at any produce store that specializes in Italian
foods. </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"><b>This zuppa is a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grandma-Bellinos-Italian-Cookbook-Grandmother/dp/1508692319" target="_blank">soup</a> of
course, but almost a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grandma-Bellinos-Italian-Cookbook-Grandmother/dp/1508692319" target="_blank">pasta dish</a> as well, and you can vary the amount of pasta
as you like. Cooking pasta separately on the side and when you are serving it,
you will use double the amount of pasta or more, with less liquid in the soup
and using the soup actually as a sauce. I always do this, as there are always
leftovers when making a pot of it, and serving it as a pasta is a nice welcome
alternative to give one variety from the same dish. I do the same with Lentil
Soup to make Pasta Lenticchie, a pasta dish. In addition, if you like, you can
sauté one link of Italian Sweet or Hot Sausage, serve up the soup as either
pasta or soup and add a link of sausage or two to each plate. You will love it
any way you do, as do the Bellino’s and millions of other Italian’s have over
the years. So make it, and enjoy, and always Mangia Bene Amici!</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><b><br /></b></span>

You can choose which ever pasta you'd like to dress with Daniel's famous ragu. Many love : Spaghetti, Rigatoni, or Cavatappi, or the most traditional pasta for Ragu from Bologna, and that's Tagliatelle, alson known as Fettuccine.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Frank's Favorite Restaurant in The World, was Patsy's on West 56th Street </strong><strong>in New York, in The Theater District near Times Square .. Frank's Favorites were; Calms Posillipo, Spaghetti Pomodoro, Veal Milanes (extra Thin & Crispy) and Spaghetti & Meatballs of which patsy's makes The Best in The City ..</strong></p>
<strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sunday-Sauce-When-Italian-Americans-Cook/dp/1490991026" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PATSY'S</a> is by far the restaurant most associated with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sunday-Sauce-When-Italian-Americans-Cook/dp/1490991026" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SINATRA</a> -- on its website, the restaurant notes that it "has been known for years as the restaurant <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sunday-Sauce-When-Italian-Americans-Cook/dp/1490991026" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Frank Sinatra</a> made famous." You can still order up old-school Italian there, but you might not have the exact same experience as Sinatra, who was said to have entered through a special door to sit at a reserved table on the second floor. Sinatra became especially loyal to the restaurant after making a solo Thanksgiving reservation one year, not realizing the restaurant was slated to be closed that day. Patsy Scognamillo didn't want to turn Sinatra away, so he allowed the reservation. He also didn't want Sinatra to know the restaurant was opened just for him -- so he had the entire staff bring their families to fill the place up, something Sinatra didn't learn until years later, according to Patsy's lore. The restaurant still celebrates its connection to Sinatra: At right, in 2002, Joe Scognamillo served actor Bill Boggs, who had dressed up as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sunday-Sauce-When-Italian-Americans-Cook/dp/1490991026" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sinatra</a> .
